Granblue Fantasy Valentine’s Day 2024 Ordering Guide

The Valentine’s Day Campaign at Cystore began on February 1st at 3:00 PM (JST). If you haven’t done this before, the idea is that you’re sending a virtual gift to a character or summon of your choice. In exchange, you’ll receive something back from them, in the form of an art print. You must register on their page to order. If you did this in 2023, that’s great! Your registration is still valid. If you did not yet, then you’ll want to go through this process.

Here’s a guide on how to register! A couple notes:

  1. Ordering requires a Japanese mailing address, so have a friend in Japan or proxy service ready.
  2. You must register an account with the Cystore page first.
  3. If you’ve ordered Valentines in previous years, the process is basically the same.

More detailed instructions after the break.
